Thank you for posting that. That was beautiful.

Yeah... especially given the vastness of space and its unfathomable size, to think of being alone that way... that would be so illogical it would be terrifying. To think that the highest order of life that exists is so horrible and destructive and cancerous to its ecosystem and self... just absolutely terrifying.

And why not. Webster's and college classes have already changed the definition of apocryphal from what it was when I was growing up. UGH.

So turning a book into a movie, rather than 3 movies. And a relatively short book into a 4 hour movie, at that. Sounds like this person knew how to do something the movie studio did not: Actually fucking edit down the bloated BS filler.

Really beautifully put and I gotta agree about society piling a bunch of crap on it (like some horrible pizza of social expectations). Even the notion that it's usually going to be the 'sassy' gay guy that's the bff. My gale male bff isn't sassy, lol we are best friends because he's a huge nerd and so am I, and…

My best friend outside my husband since I was 14 years old is a gay man, and we love hanging out, that said, most of the time spent hanging out is playing Dungeons and Dragons. :D It's been the same with multiple other gay men that I've met. I mean yes, some gay men (like my uncle, for example) are much more…

I thought the peter pan miniseries was decent, but other than that, I definitely have to agree. Being Human and Lost Girl are the only reasons I saw to watch SyFy (and can we talk about the dumbass name change? What was the point of that even?) within the last few years aside from Buffy and X-Files reruns.

I can't help but wonder that myself. I mean... I love gay guys, yes, I said it, but the only reason WHY I say that, is because I know that that's one group of people I can befriend where the guy won't break down into histrionics and start cutting himself or wind up trying to get me drunk, guilt me, etc etc etc because…

While I agree, this is something I've seen play out a few times fairly recently in different shows. Like Lost Girl, where Bo (the protagonist, a succubus) is in bed with this stranger, her roommate comes home, makes a comment about how hot the dude is, and when Bo is done, she 'tags her in' so to speak, and it shows…

Agree. My husband was raped by a much older female relative while growing up. Numerous times. Anyone violating anyone in such a way is fucked up. And bringing feminism into it doesn't change that. The fact of the matter is that rape is about power as much as anything else, and to be totally honest, I'm uncomfortable…

I know I'm kind of butting into your argument, but believe it or not, not everyone with ovaries who comments here is believing what you're saying, or even feels the same way. I read the story, not watched the show but just read the story here, and yeah, that's unquestionably rape. And that's something which is wrong,…

I think it's interesting to see scenes like this come in, and that it's not just this show either. The last few weeks have also seen something on Lost Girl (a canadian buffy/true blood type show) wherein the female protagonist (a succubus) was sexing up a stranger she brought home, her roommate comes home, and she…

I used to use it from time to time, but it clogs the follicles (for me, at least) and caused my hair to thin, so I had to stop using it. It's definitely a godsend for those who can use it without adverse affects, though. :D

Some people shower daily, some don't. I'm not a fan of it, it dries out the ends of my hair, though the conundrum presented is that the roots of my hair get really oily when I don't. So I just pull it up half the time, works just as well and my skin isn't miserable as a result. My mother's a good example of showering…

Yeah, definitely. My little sister and I used to watch Avatar together when I was a teenager, though not regularly enough to follow it or anything. It wasn't until after binge watching LoK that I got enthused enough to do the same with Avatar, and all I have to say is I respect the hell out of the show's creators…

>.> Will you link me? My tumblr-fu is weak, but that sounds amazing. Also, totally not bugging me! LoK has officially made it to the realm of being one of my interests, which means I could talk incessantly about it until I'm dead, rehashing over and over and turning moments over for new nuances until I'm dead and be a…

It's sad that it's such a way that you'd need to pay for it yourself, but good that you can. Another friend of mine, Shaine, actually lives in Oregon, and was so stoked to find this out as they've been looking into top surgery as well, hitting puberty caused them horrible gender dysphoria when they hit adolescence, so…

Damn that's shitty. A friend of mine has been working on trying to get back to an endocrinologist because when she started taking estrogen in the hopes of starting to transition, she wound up having a horrible reaction to it, and is still looking to continue with the transition when she can. I am a cis female, and I…

TBH, that's true, and it's sad. I think the party system is one of the big things destroying the country, and part of the reason why is stuff like that I felt defensive when you said that and I'm not even 'liberal', but consider myself progressive/communist who just thinks that people shouldn't be forced to live in a…

Ever play monopoly where the goal of the game is for one person to take all the other people's money and bankrupt them? That's capitalism. BTW: Walmart is killing it, with the Walton family holding almost 40% of the country's wealth, and making most of that money off of food stamps, that have to be subsidized by the…
